Hi Akashi,
I could not reproduce this with my simulator.
It would be good if you could post result of KGDB test suite.
From sysfs you can launch using below command:
echo V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
or enable boot test.
V1F1000 doesn't reveal this issue even on my environment (FVP_VE_AEM8A),
but I can easily reproduce it with vanilla v3.15:
(gdb) b sys_sync
(gdb) c
At the target,
# sync
At gdb,
(gdb) info reg pc
(gdb) si
(gdb) info reg pc <= (a)
(gdb) si
(gdb) info reg pc <= (b)
Here you can see that you are still at the same address as (a), that is
<sys_sync+4>
and you can never go forward with stepi.
Please try these steps and let me know the result.
Have you tried these steps without my patch?
It will take only a few minutes for you to do so.
Are you testing on hardware or simulator?
Fast Model (FVP VE and Base)
On my simulator arm64 I see warnings in boot test
what kind of messages?
What I saw at boot test (KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT) with my patch applied to v3.18-rc3 was:

NO warnings.

Other than that it is OK.

I tried to verify kgdb in vanilla kernel on fast model, but it seems
that
the single stepping with kgdb doesn't work correctly since its first
appearance at v3.15.
On v3.15, 'stepi' command after breaking the kernel at some breakpoint
steps forward to the next instruction, but the succeeding 'stepi' never
goes beyond that.
On v3.16, 'stepi' moves forward and stops at the next instruction just
after enable_dbg in el1_dbg, and never goes beyond that. This variance
of
behavior seems to come in with the following patch in v3.16:
commit 2a2830703a23 ("arm64: debug: avoid accessing mdscr_el1 on
fault
paths where possible")
This patch
(1) moves kgdb_disable_single_step() from 'c' command handling to single
step handler.
This makes sure that single stepping gets effective at every 's'
command.
Please note that, under the current implementation, single step bit
in
spsr, which is cleared by the first single stepping, will not be
set
again for the consecutive 's' commands because single step bit in
mdscr
is still kept on (that is, kernel_active_single_step() in
kgdb_arch_handle_exception() is true).
(2) re-implements kgdb_roundup_cpus() because the current implementation
enabled interrupts naively. See below.
(3) removes 'enable_dbg' in el1_dbg.
Single step bit in mdscr is turned on in do_handle_exception()->
kgdb_handle_expection() before returning to debugged context, and
if
debug exception is enabled in el1_dbg, we will see unexpected
single-
stepping in el1_dbg.
Since v3.18, the following patch does the same:
commit 1059c6bf8534 ("arm64: debug: don't re-enable debug
exceptions
on return from el1_dbg)
(4) masks interrupts while single-stepping one instruction.
If an interrupt is caught during processing a single-stepping,
debug
exception is unintentionally enabled by el1_irq's 'enable_dbg'
before
returning to debugged context.
Thus, like in (2), we will see unexpected single-stepping in
el1_irq.
Basically (1) and (2) are for v3.15, (3) and (4) for v3.1[67].
(3) was CC'd for stable, so I don't think you need to mention that here.
I'd like an ack from a KGDB person before I take this via the arm64 tree.
Will
* issue fixed by (2):
Without (2), we would see another problem if a breakpoint is set at
interrupt-sensible places, like gic_handle_irq():

Once some interrupt occurs, a breakpoint at gic_handle_irq() triggers
kgdb.
Kgdb then calls kgdb_roundup_cpus() to sync with other cpus.
Current kgdb_roundup_cpus() unmasks interrupts temporarily to
use smp_call_function().
This eventually allows another interrupt to occur and likely results in
hitting a breakpoint at gic_handle_irq() again since debug exception is
always enabled in el1_irq.
We can avoid this issue by specifying "nokgdbroundup" in kernel
parameter,
but this will also leave other cpus be in unknown state in terms of
kgdb,
and may result in interfering with kgdb activity.
